Edinburgh-based venue finding agency ExecSpace has reported a
55 per cent increase in profit for the first half of 2016.

Founder and CEO Emma Little says the increased profitability,
underlined by a 33 per cent sales boost, has been driven by strong performance
from clients such as Standard Life, Aegon, Grant Thornton and the company’s
inclusion on the Scottish Government Framework. Last year, ExecSpace was chosen
as the sole supplier on the Scottish government’s Travel Services Framework
Agreement, providing conference and meeting venues bookings.

Little said: “2016 has been our strongest and most pivotal
year yet. The current team are exceptionally driven and everyone is absolutely
focussed on sales growth and great customer care. Where you work and the
surroundings are absolutely key to staff happiness so when I’m lucky enough to
have a great team, it’s important we secure the best space for them to work.
Our new office includes a state of the art boardroom, as well as a separate
chill-out area for the guys and much more space, which will accommodate our new
hires as the sales continue to ramp up.”

Currently employing 12 staff, the new offices have space for
ExecSpace to double in size. Little added: “This is the strongest team we have
ever had. Everyone has bought into the vision and is exceptionally driven.”
